What are Chair's letters?

Chair's letters notify licensed centres of changes to HFEA policy. Sent by the Chair of the HFEA, the letters tell centres what they are expected to do in light of the policy change.

When a new edition of the Code of Practice is published, the Chair's letters issued since the previous edition are incorporated into the new code.

If a centre fails to comply with a Chair's letter, its licence could be amended, suspended or revoked.
